The HMP Preston inmate’s cell was searched on Thursday, 16 March 2016 and revealed a haul of 11 small mobile phones, sim cards, around £19,000 worth of spice, cannabis with a street value of around £4,500, approximately £6,100 of heroin, cocaine with a street value of £1,500 and around £1,800 worth of steroids.
